Stumbling Stones Friesenwall 96 - 98

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Caroline Freudenthal (born 1864, deported in 1942 to Theresienstadt murdered 14 maart 1943)
Anna Freudenthal (born 1889, deported in 1941 to Riga murdered)
Max Freudenthal (born 1887, deported in 1941 to Riga murdered)
Hanneliese Freudenthal (born 1921, deported in 1941 to Riga, in 1944 to Stutthof, in 1945 after the dead marsch free)
Ernst Benjamin Freudenthal (born 1922, deported in 1941 to Riga murdered in 1941)

The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
